Ladies who got through teething...

you are all my heros! I am dying here
I started transitioning Colton and Reese to their cribs (from the co-sleeper in our room) this week and, as luck would have it, I am pretty sure teething started at the same time (ladies with younger babies...learn from this mistake and transition them earlier!).
I haven't had more than 4 hours sleep/night in 5 nights
It's just so hard with two...one is up, I get that one down, then the other one is up. Plus, if one was up all night and sleeps in, I still have to get up with the other. It is killing me...

I am trying Tylenol before bed...any other suggestions? I will do pretty much anything at this point...

Re: Ladies who got through teething...

I lived on Tylenol and Motrin for a good 6 months. It's rough, but the medicine really helps. I gave it when they woke up during the night also.

Re: Ladies who got through teething...

i think motrin works better then tylenol, so i give that at night before putting them down it bed

good luck, i know its so hard, one of mine has 2 teeth and the other 5, it is so rough, thankfully mine seem to teeth at opposite times so at least one is in good spirits while i tend to/cuddle the other one

Re: Ladies who got through teething...

I just wanted to say that I feel your pain. My two are teething and it's horrible. I've been using Tylenol and tried everything from frozen washcloths to oragel to baby mum mums....so far I haven't found the miracle I need yet and there is no sign of the tooth cutting yet so this could be a while! Ugh!

As far as transitioning we didn't transition them to the cribs until they were about 5 mths and it was a nightmare! To be honest we winded up having to do CIO which I was totally against at first. But let me tell u they have been sleeping in their cribs every night for 12 hours straight. They still tend to cry a few minutes going in but it's been a miracle. We are now working on them napping in there as they are still napping in their swings and we can't seem to break that habit!
Good luck!!!!!!
